I am not a Seam Penn or Madonna fan, celebrities do not impress me most of Hollywood is built on sin. Most of them do not know which way is up. Their are not good role models and we need to teach our children values and morals. I find most of Hollywood Toxic, anything goes, and they make their money by shocking our morals. There are not very many people in Hollywood that I find are decent. They do not care about American family values or morals; take a good look at what they do money is not everything. Fox news was the only news station reporting fair and exposing the facts. Obama needs to prove himself and until then I do not trust him - he has shown nothing to me accept words, a great speaker, a junior senator with little experience and Media myth. There is a lot to be said about the health of society’s central institutions: family, church, and school. Capitalism sure didn’t hurt Obama to become President and it’s that same system that gave him the freedom to be what he is today, yet Obama wants to take away that freedom and turn us into a country dependent on BIG government programs – huge health care , higher taxes, and the list goes on. I want my constitutional rights protected – Obama will change that – we cannot let that happen. If that starts to happen we will need to march in Washington we cannot sit back and watch our constitution be stripped away and in four years he could do a lot of damage. It has been over 25 plus years since they took prayer out of schools and look what are high schools are doing now over 33 percent of all children do not know what gender they want to be. I know I work with children and teens in PA and we were considered a conservative state. Television and movies have desensitized our youth. Crimes have triple, schools have guards with guns – look how our society has become. Un-Godly Nation. Remember half of the County voted for McCain and McCain would have won if the people were not ignorant to blaming everything on Bush. President Bush deserved respect and I find it sickening that these same people think we should work with Obama. First, I do not trust him, there are many facts to back that up, and I pray we are not attacked on US soil.

Bush campaigned on coming together and then stacked the courts with extremist judges, started a war based on lies, paid for that war with inefficient contracts (many no-bid) financed by a massive debt, surrounded himself with yes-men neo-cons who led him into decisions that may yet mean the decline of American power in the world. His margins of “victory” were way smaller than Obama’s yet he pursued his agenda without taking the rest of us into account.

If Obama is even 5% more bipartisan (and I believe he will be more so), you guys should be grateful. Obama’s mandate would have been greater if those who don’t have the time to really check into these things hadn’t been scared by the “he’s a Communist” and “he’s a Terrorist”. He’s about as much of a socialist and terrorist Bill Clinton.

I notice that the über left conveniently forgot the 8 years of “loyal opposition” they handed to GWB. Now they expect conservatives to fall in lockstep with The One and follow his commands. Sorry, ain’t gonna happen. The One needs to earn my respect, not expect my respect. And that cutie pie little sign “Office of the President Elect” is not helping things along.

But hey, I’ll give BHO all the respect and loyalty that the über left gave GWB. Deal?

Are you kidding me? Talk about hate! What about the hate toward Bush, and ANY republican, spewed by these ungrateful, bigoted, Hollywood spoiled-brats. As an American, I have always been proud of my country, warts and all, just as the way I feel about my family. I will rally behind President-elect Obama. He’s got a tough road ahead and needs the support of all of us. But don’t try to talk hate as if it’s owned by republicans. Dems need to take responsibility for there own prejudice and hate.

“You will never see a low-information-extraodinaires Sarah Palin and Potato”e”-head Dan Quale, making it to the Democratic rank and file.”

You mean Barack “57 States” Obama doesn’t qualify? Report to the nearest deportation center “Jamaal” I have a hunch you’re an illegal. Or a victim of public schools. Btw, 57 million people voted against Obama. Hardly a “landslide.” Keep dreaming though.

[...] been able to put the word ‘my’ before president before,’ he added, prompting loud applause from the British-American film industry crowd that also honored actors Tilda Swinton and Don [...]

I note more hate is wafting from posts of unlettered heads. I have stated what I think of them. And so I will address a more serious issue: that of a stolen 2004 election.

Democrats consistently fielded superior candidates with impressive resumes. You will never see a low-information-extraodinaires Sarah Palin and Potato”e”-head Dan Quale, making it to the Democratic rank and file. Yet, Democrats fell victim to GOP voter suppression tactics in Ohio and Florida, which in effect disfranchised hundreds of thousands of votes that could have sent both Gore and Kerry to the White House.

Enter Obama. A smooth, cool-headed, super-intelligent Chicago-tough candidate, who came in well-prepared to methodically render ineffective past GOP voter suppression tactics. John McCain cried ACORN to no avail. Ohio and Florida were saved, democracy won, every voter’s vote counted and Democrats won by almost a landslide.

And the news gets worse for the GOP. The Democrats have now installed their own people in state election committees that oversee voter eligibility. America has regained its taste for voting. Republicans know high voter turnout consistently spells trouble for their party. And that is what will happen in the forseable future. GOP better get used to a life of obscurity for a while. Your candidates will only experience the White House as visitors, chaperoned by tour guides, while successive Democratic presidents, and their dogs, live in it.

Interesting. We should all give The One our loyalty and respect according to His supporters. Funny how that loyalty and respect was never there for Bush from day one.

And just because you THINK Bush “stole” the presidency, you might want to obtain a little proof. Of course, that would mean actually doing research instead of spouting conspiracy theories about how Bush made the re-re-recount stop. The fact is that Gore, et al, tried to have only specific precincts recounted. Did you ever stop to wonder why? Did you also ever stop to wonder why after the election was certified for Bush, that even the NYT and other rags not “friendly” to Bush ALSO recounted the ballots and came to the same conclusion that Bush won Florida?

All the long eight years, including right after 9/11, there were people who claimed that Bush was an occupant, a pretender, the “selected, not elected” President. Are these same people screaming about ACORN and its VERIFIED attempts (and successes) at voter fraud? All you’ll hear is crickets in that regard.

If conservatives give The One the same amount of respect that the rabid liberals gave Bush, there would be howls of “you’re not being loyal to the president!” and “Show some respect!” etc.

We as Americans do not “Give” our loyalty; politicians have to earn it. We do not have to show respect; politicians have to earn it. The only loyalty and respect we as Americans need show is to our nation, and to the United States Constitution. We do not owe our loyalty to these temporary occupants. They will be gone in four or eight years, but we remain. And all the wishing by Prince Buttercup that we remake America in the image that The One wants will fall on deaf ears. Prince Buttercup should put his money (literally)where his mouth is. If he truly has compassion for the people of the United States of America, if he really wants to do some good, he should sell all he owns, give it to Barack Obama to distribute, and for the rest of his life, work for minimum wage in any endeavor he introduces himself in. My bet is that he won’t. He thinks he’s better than that.

But that’s always been the problem with liberals; they think that it’s only someone else’s money that should be used. And the few wealthy liberals that actually say that they are undertaxed, well, nobody on this planet is stopping them from sending ALL of their money to the government. I wonder how many actually say to their accountants, “No, don’t take that deduction, I feel like giving MORE than my fair share.

Hmph. Liberals. Always bravest when standing behind their protectors.

What a waste of a good actor. Let’s see his Father was an acknowledged Commie, apple falling not far from the tree. So yea Sean, I guess Obama is “your” president!

Jamaal, its so apparrent when you read a comment from a “true” republican. They are filled with so much hate that has been passed down from generation to generation that they can’t even pass up the chance to throw hate words at Sean Penn (a washed up actor) for expressing his feelings towards our new elect-President. They don’t realize that half of their neighbors with Mccain signs posted on their front lawns went to the polls and voted for Obama. Wake up and smell the coffee republicans….its time for change. And like Jamaal said, once Obama gets this country moving in the right direction you all will be the first to reap the benefits. Stop whining and admit you’re ready for a positive and progressive change too.
